Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Pre-Immersion Self-Learning Module on Orientation!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

RECAP

You are now in G-12 and therefore you are expected to be equipped with all
the skills you gained from your different subjects. Let’s recall the 3 classifications of
subjects in Senior High School. Yes, they are: Core subjects; Applied subjects; and
Specialized subjects. Work Immersion is one (1) of the nine (9) specialized subjects
and it is also allotted 80 hours just like other subjects.

LESSON

Are you excited for your Work Immersion? Today you will read and learn the
content of some sections of DepEd Order No. 30, s. 2017, DepEd No. 39, s. 2018
and the latest Guidelines for Work Immersion Implementation during crisis situation
found in Memorandum DM-CI-2020-00085 from the Office of the Undersecretary
for Curriculum and Instruction.

What does Work Immersion mean?

 According to DepEd Order No. 40, series of 2015, Work Immersion refers to
the part of the Senior High School (SHS) Curriculum consisting of 80 hours of hands-
on experience or work simulation which the Grades 11 and 12 students will undergo
to expose them to the actual workplace setting and to enrich the competencies provided
by the school under the supervision of the School Head and the designated personnel
of the Partner.”

The Department of Education issued DepEd Order no. 30 s. 2017 entitled

Guidelines for Work Immersion which is the basis for the implementation of Work
Immersion in all Senior High Schools (SHSs). So let us get oriented with the selected
sections of DepEd Order no. 30 s. 2017. Read it thoroughly.

Section 1: Rationale

One of the goals of the K to 12 Education Program is to develop in learners

the competencies, work ethics, and values relevant to pursuing further education
and/or joining the world of work. To achieve greater congruence with the basic
education and the nation’s development targets, Work Immersion, a required
subject, has been integrated in the curriculum. This subject will provide learners
with the following opportunities:
1. to become familiar with the work place
2. for employment simulation
3. to apply their competencies in areas of specialization/applied subject’s in
authentic work environments
To achieve those objectives, Work Immersion is therefore a requirement for
graduation from secondary education. Learners are immersed on actual work
environments such as workshops, offices and laboratories in which their prior
training is relevant. But this is given clarification on DepEd Order No. 39, s. 2018.

Though the intention of Work Immersion is to provide SHS learners with

opportunities to become familiar with the workplace, simulate employment, and to
apply their competencies in areas of specialization/applied subjects in actual work
environments, DepEd recognizes other options that may equally prepare learners for
all curriculum exits.

 For all tracks, schools may opt to devise unique delivery model with a
minimum of 80 and a maximum of 320 hours following the Curriculum Guide.
 All TVL learners shall have completed the required learning competencies of a
particular specialization before Work Immersion.
  The nominal duration of specialization for TVL shall be considered in crafting
the delivery model of the school.
For other tracks:

 Accounting, Business and Management (ABM) learners may have Business

Enterprise Simulation
 Humanities and Social Science Strand (HUMSS) learners may take
Culminating Activity
 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learners may take
Research/Capstone Project
 General Academic Strand (GAS) learners may take Research/Capstone Project
or Culminating Activity
 For Sports Track, learners may take Apprenticeship (off – campus)
 For Arts and Design Track, learners may take Performing Arts for Production
or Exhibit for Arts Production

However, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the learners’ physical

attendance in school is prohibited. Consequently, the implementation of Work
Immersion given above is greatly affected. Hence, the Office of Undersecretary set
another guideline stipulated in Memorandum DM-CI-2020-00085 specifically for
this school year 2020-2021. Varying suggested activities for all tracks guided by Most
Essential Competencies (MELCs) are provided.

The activities in all tracks can be performed in different schemes which

include in-school, home-based, community-based, and school industry
partnership.

Whatever scheme is used, all lessons and activities of Work Immersion

or its equivalent shall be delivered using different modalities applicable to the
specific track, strand, learners and schools.

To get more oriented with these schemes, your Work Immersion

Teacher together with the Focal Person, Grade level Chairman and
Principal will meet you together with your parent via online platform.
Your Work Immersion Teacher or your previous adviser will send you a
message and link for an online orientation. This will be done on the 1st
week of second semester.
What will be the topic they will discuss? Yes! They will explain how you
will go about your Work Immersion using the above-mentioned schemes.
They will do the following:
1. Walkthrough of the Parts of the entire Work Immersion
2. Explanation of contextualized activity and scheme relevant to your
track & strand (to be taken from the new issued Memorandum in
response to the crisis)
3. Assessment
4. Other important matters/reminders regarding your Work
Immersion
5. Open Forum where you and your parents can ask questions directly
to the teachers or even to the principal.

To prepare for this online orientation, you can already download those
apps for online meeting. When the message and link are given to you, you will
just click it to open and join the meeting. Just remember to make your
environment silent because every noise is heard by everyone in the meeting, so
you need to turn off the microphone to avoid destruction to the speaker. Wait
for further instructions.
For now, let’s continue with our module.
